I seem to remember Hales having problems getting to his first FC hundred a while back? And of course he's gotten 99 in t20 and ODIs. Clearly has a problem with milestones.

Go and sit in the corner.

 

[Compton]

Oh Alex Hales

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Bugger. Shame but I am sure it won't be long in coming.

 

[Stapel]

I don't know if you're taking the piss so I'm just going to move on.

No way man. Just a way to confirm what you said earlier: People get labelled all the time, and too many idiots can't comprehend that sometimes one dude can have two or more labels.

Cook just played a ramp shot.

Anarchy in the UK.

 

[Howe_zat]

They are playing a shot a ball, Cook tried a paddle scoop ffs, but the field is wide as possible and everything is 1/2.

Guarantee someone will bash Cook for being defensive and batting slowly

 

[grecian]

I don't like it when Alastair does such things, it's so uncouth, leave it to the colonials.

Somerset is a colony?

 

[Howe_zat]

That's Cook's six for this year.

 

[grecian]

He's heaving to cow corner, followed by another ramp, hold me

 

[LegionOfBrad]

No way should they declare this is hilarious to watch. Go Chef.

 

[Howe_zat]

Too early.

 

[Groundking]

Should have had another over to get the 50 and then a final over of crazy fun leaving a nice round 10 overs left

 

[Daemon]

Punished himself for sending Finn up the order imo

 

[Compton]

Cook was just making sure that little scamp Morgan know that he could take the one day side back any time he wanted it.

 

[Compton]

Good 12 overs from England. Probably bowled a little wide for the first six, but they kept them under pressure for most of it. Credit to the Sri Lankan pair for seeing it out.

 

[YorksLanka]

**** you Rod Tucker

Just waiting for his " should have gone to spec savers ad" useless ******
Edit:just read that we were asked to remove our flag from display on the dressing room balcony.wouldn't want to make the place look silly,good job there aren't lots of pensioners falling asleep in red and yellow striped suits...

 

[viriya]

Haven't had time to follow match.. Tucker gave a no-ball which was not and there was no way for the 3rd umpire to intervene.. is that how it went down?

 

[YorksLanka]

Yes I believe that because he gave the no ball on field ,it couldn't be reversed by third ump but if it were referred by him to check, it would have been deemed legal..don't get me wrong I an NOT saying that decision is reason for us not winning the test( we simply aren't as good as England at the moment) but when things go against you like that and we're already getting whupped it doesn't help.. imo he is the worst umpire going and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near...

Just evil on every level, first saving Hale's arse with the no-ball that was a ball and bowled him, and then sending him packing LBW when he's on 94 on the verge of his first century
